Hamerotz Lamillion 4 Puns

I just finished all seasons of TAR, TARAU, and TARCAN and I am now interested in watching the Israeli version of TAR.

Among the TAR hardcore fanbase, the four English-language versions of the show are considered the important ones: CBS's in the US, Seven's and 10's in Australia, CTV's in Canada and the now-defunct TAR Asia of AXN which lightened up the darkest parts of the Dark Age with Asias 2, 3 and 4, all of which helped to counter the 14-15-16 stretch. However, the non-English language versions of TAR also have hidden quality within them, like TAR China Rush (not to be confused with TAR China without the Rush) which was a high-effort tourism stunt where any English-speaking citizens from anywhere in the world would participate in an otherwise normal race solely within China's borders. Or TAR Latin America, which was akin to TAR Asia in it allowing multiple countries' teams to form international rivalries and draw in viewers from across the whole continent. Even while these two get overlooked constantly, one thing that the hardcore fanbase, even those who haven't seen it, will all agree on is that by far the best international non-English (and maybe even best overall) TAR version is HaMerotz LaMillion.

Before I get to why Hamerotz is so brilliant (just as a translation, HaMerotz LaMillion literally means The Race To The Million), I want to talk about the production company that produces it: activeTV.

Do they sound familiar? I may have mentioned them before. They are the elusive geniuses of the franchise who can turn stones into gold, sprout flowers from the earth and raise corpses back to life (as far as TAR is concerned). Every legendary TAR season not made by CBS was set into motion by their team.

They got their start as the production company hired to do TAR Asia 1. It was shit. They had a really low budget, but that doesn't quite excuse their bumbling with the execution, the fact that they reused multiple things from the US version and made them worse, as well as the lack of creativity found in that season overall. However, a bad first foray did not reflect their true potential, and they would rebound with the outstanding Asias 2, 3 and 4, all of which are held solidly in the top 1/3 of English TAR seasons, with colourful characters, interesting tasks and which displayed an overall mastery of the format. Sadly after Season 4, TAR Asia would disappear in 2010 (around S16-17 US), only resurfacing to deliver a last hurrah in the form of 2016's TAR Asia 5 (which despite being on another shoestring budget ended up being just as good as the previous three). activeTV w

I mentioned in Part 1 that the summer of 2019 saw three foreign TAR seasons air simultaneously. Today, I'll be looking at the third of these three seasons: HaMerotz LaMillion 7.

Note: Leg 11 was double-length. I count the two parts of Leg 11 as two separate legs for statistics purposes.

Basic Results

^(1)During the Intersection, Hadar fell and injured her arm. Noy & Hadar were sent directly to the Pit Stop for elimination, and Yehoudit & Zohar were allowed to skip the Intersection and continue racing without receiving a penalty.^(2)Yehoudit & Zohar forfeited the final match of the Double Battle and received a 15-minute penalty.

Group Average Leg Ranks

The number in parentheses indicates how many teams in the group competed in that leg.

|Group|Leg 1|Leg 2|Leg 3|Leg 4|Leg 5|Leg 6|Leg 7|Leg 8|Leg 9|Leg 10|Leg 11A|Leg 11B|Leg 12| |:-|:-|:-|:-|:-

Luck-based tasks that are located directly before the Pit Stop are one of the biggest sins that course designers on TAR can commit. They can easily render the previous portions of leg entirely pointless and leave the finish order entirely up to luck. These happen from time to time and they're annoying, but not terribly common.

But on the sixth season of TAR Israel, there have been no less than EIGHT of these in the 12 legs so far. It's, quite honestly, infuriating. Here's a quick rundown:

Leg 2 (New York): Teams had to listen to popular Israeli children's song which lists various countries and how they say 'hello'. They have to search New York for people who are from these countries (IE, tourists, not immigrants), and bring them all to a "UN Judge" so they could all say hello in their native language. It's entirely luck-based whether teams can find the correct people in New York's sea of people, not to mention it's pretty much luck if these people agree to walk all the way to Times Square with them or not.

Leg 3 (Honolulu): Teams are given part of a Hawaiian shirt pattern, and must look through 15,000 shirts in a store for one that matches their pattern.

Leg 6 (Cartagena): Teams are given a pallet of panella cubes, and must pick them up and eat them (gross) until they find a tiny race flag hidden under one of them. (The popular celebrity team found their flag under the FIRST one they picked up)

Leg 7 (Kingston, Jamaica): Teams choose from 150 bowls of sugar, and must blow the sugar out of the bowls using only their breath (spraying it in their teammate's face in the process) until they find one bowl that has a banana hidden under the sugar.

Leg 8 (Moscow): Teams watch the Red Army choir sing a song, and must decide which one of them is only lip-syncing. Each member of the choir is holding a sign with a destination, and only the lip-syncing person is holding the location of the Pit Stop. Teams only find out if they're wrong after traveling all the way to the incorrect location. This one is a bit debatable, but teams were placed up in the balcony where it's pretty much impossible to find the one lip-syncing person without just guessing.

Leg 9 (Bishkek): One team member has to wander around the largest market in Central Asia, looking for one of five hanging signs with a multiple choice question about Kyrgyzstan, which they must answer to get a code to unlock a box back at the entrance with their partner. Not only is it luck-based if they can find the s

Based on these intros, which teams do you think you would root for on each season?

Specifically season 6 when they are in Hawaii? I work at the tattoo shop they filmed at and I never got to see how the footage turned out. No luck looking on YouTube thus far.

Thank you all for listening.

Here's a list of countries that international versions of TAR have beat the US version to.

Cuba - Cuba has been visited by the Canadian, Israeli, and Australian versions of the show, however the Australian version was the first to visit the country. Cuba has yet to be visited by TAR but with relations between the US and Cuba getting warmer it's becoming more likely that TARUS will be able to visit Cuba soon.

Czech Republic/Czechia - This came as a surprise to me but TAR Asia actually visited the Czech Republic, or Czechia whichever way you like to refer to it, about 2 years prior to TAR's S15 visit.

Indonesia - Both TAR Asia and TAR Australia visited Indonesia prior to TAR 19's visit to the country, however TAR Asia's visit was the first. TAR Canada later visited Indonesia during the heroes edition.

Kyrgyzstan - The Israeli version (HaMerotz LaMillion) is currently the only version to visit Kyrgyzstan. Kyrgyzstan is also the only "-stan" country to be visited other than Kazakhstan.

Bosnia & Herzegovina - The Israeli version remains the only version to ever visit Bosnia & Herzegovina. Sadly this leg also visites Croatia so there still hasn't been one full leg in this country.

Nepal - Again the Israeli version remains the only version to visit Nepal. The US version was supposed to visit Nepal three times but it got cut twice because of a lack of a scout and replaced once because of interference with Diwali.

Georgia - This came as a surprise to me as well but again the Israel version visited Georgia about 1 year before TAR 28's visit.

Israel - The Australian version and, by default, the Israeli version are the only versions to visit Israel. HaMerotz LaMillion has the first visit to the country however TAR Australia has the first full leg in the country.

Laos - The Vietnamese version of the show visited Laos about 3 years prior to TAR 31's visit.

North Korea - The Vietnamese version remains the only version to visit North Korea. It will likely stay this way due to political tension with the western world and North Korea not recognizing Israel.

Dominican Republic - The Latin American version of the show remains the only version to visit the Dominican Republic.

Curaçao - Technically it's a part of the Netherlands but if you count constituent countries as separate countries then the Latin American version remains the only version to visit Curaçao.

Guatemala - The Latin American version remains the only version to visit the Guatemala.

She smirked and said “you mean these?” Pointing to her knees “I’ve got kid knees right here!” It’s official, this is definitely my kid 😂

If you have a gut feeling, weird moment or simply not trusting the car behind you, remember the rule of 4

You know like, after a weird date, that person you cut off and he is raging behind you, at night after class, after work going back home or simply not trusting that car that as been behind you since you came back from the shopping center.

It’s a good thing to know the streets near your house, driving around a few blocks to see where you can do this rule of 4

You take 4 consecutive left turns or You take 4 consecutive right turns.

So in essence, you are doing a square and coming back to the start point.

Ex: you are going back home, this car is on your tail and something feels off. Before arriving home or you continue pass your home. You proceed to take a left turn then a left, another left and finally a left.

The probability of someone in a spur of the moment doing 4 left turns with you is extremely low, either they will fork off at a intersection, enter a driveway, park in the street, make a u-turn or simply continue straight.

This makes you go back so you can go home without that car behind you. Helps you clear your mind of the doubts, is that car really following me. Doesn’t show where you live.

A simple 4 left or 4 right turns, doesn’t take more than a few minutes.

Then you can listen to the song and rate it or something...

Have a wonderful day/night :)

EDIT: it's getting kinda late here... I'm going to sleep and I'll continue tomorrow

EDIT 2: I'm back

I'm a massive fantasy reader and WOT ticks all my boxes. I love the characters and the world. But I just can't. I've never made it past book 8, even tried the audio books. I've tried skimming and chapter summaries. I know how it ends and it sounds amazing. I want to get there so badly...

But I can't get past the slog. From about the 3rd book a pattern develops where the first 1/3 of the book is a recap /rehash, middle 1/3 is a very slow build up, and then the final 1/3 is bloody amazing. I cannot slog through 2/3 of a 1000 page book to get to the good part, and I especially cannot do it for multiple books....

I was about 200 pages into book 7... and then decided to read Salem's Lot instead. Loved it from start to finish. No slog. Life's too short. Read what makes you happy.

Edit to clarify: I like crypto myself, got a punk rock vibe to it. I just don't know what all it gets used for. Also the job in tech is internal tools dev at a medium sized game publisher.

Edit again: Guys the whole point of this post was I don't know shit about what I bought. Regardless of what I think seems like it's worth investing in I'm the LAST person you should be asking for crypto advice. I've gotten multiple DMs. What the fuck lol

Yep. I think about this constantly, I understand the use case for something like Bitcoin. Transfer money with no middle men. I get that.

What the hell are these other chains supposed to be doing? Half my damn portfolio is Ethereum and I genuinely can't tell you what you're supposed to do with it. Why would you develop an app on a Blockchain? Let alone how. Is there some inherent benefit here? God I have no clue.

For the longest time I just thought it was like providing a decentralized version of something like AWS or Azure, like a grass roots server host. Holy shit I was wrong. There's all sorts of shit you can make apparently.

But yeah idk. Feels good to come clean. I got into it cause it seemed like a smart investment and so far so good. But I'm amazed I've not come across any real application of it in my day to day life so far that I'm aware of at least.

I cannot be alone here right? Please. It's wild to me that I understand more about the idea behind what an NFT is (supposed to be) used for than any application of any other blockchains.

Idk if anyone else is in this camp and feels dumb you're not alone. I feel ya.

-------Alright so I went to bed, came back, and this thread exploded. In an attempt to 'Give back' to this community that is actually full of pretty helpful people amongst all the 'people dont know shit about fuck memes' ill share some of what I've learned for anyone taking a glance at this post;

• Right now, currency transfers is the king application. Send money from point A to B without interference or approval from the man, that's a valuable service, and for the most part, thats a very simple summary of the idea of what gives a coin like bitcoin its value. Okay cool, easy starting point out of the way.
• There are actually a few, quite a few, blockchains that offer a more tangible service, now. Storage, processing power, internet browsers, etc. Something you can either open up on your PC and use as a regular application, or something you can plan on using with a development pro

Instead of John, Paul, George, and Ringo, they would be Jean-Paul, George, and Ringo

Those are the pie-rates of the care-I-be-in.

It's by far the best theme in the history of the entire franchise, and I'm so glad season 6 is airing soon so I get to hear it again with new teams.

Hello Israel!

Im a swedish guy who helped out during the shooting of an episode of Hamerotz Lamillion when they were in Sweden.

I (and some of my classmates) got some airtime and we would very much like to see the result.

We have failed to get our hands on the episode on our own, so that's why I turn to you guys. Anyone here knows where we can find the episode?

It's season 4 and episode 9,10 and 11.

Thanks in advance!
